Hell Above (Sequel To Heaven Below)

Chapter 42~ Sauli Talk...

ADAM

"Dad, have you thought about school?" Zoe asked as she sat down on the bench.

"Can you please get off the bench, I am cooking." I reply, shooing her away with a wooden spoon.

"Daaadddd" She whinged, stretching out the name, the name that I am not even used of yet.

Zoe shot puppy dog eyes at me. "Please"

"Zoe, the physical appearance of please does not make a difference." I laugh softly.

"Works on Neil" She shrugged softly.

"Neil and I are very different people."

"Are you sure? You both snore the same" She giggles.

"I do not snore." I huff, stirring the pasta.

"I can back Zoe up on that one" Tommy laughs as he walks into the kitchen.

"Babe, how about being on my side for once?" I sigh, putting the meat into the frying pan.

"You still nagging your father about school?" He asked, sitting on the bench just like Zoe did.

"Tommy, get off the fucking bench" I scowl at him, he raises his hands and sits down on a chair.

"Dad please!" Zoe pleads at me.

"What have I said before?" I reply, mixing the pasta and meat together.

"Adam, why can't she? She will be fine and Joel will be there looking after her." Tommy spoke.

"Tommy, we have had this conversation before, remember?" I spoke without turning. "Zoe, I need to think about it, okay?"

"You said that a week ago.!" She complained.

"Zoe!" I snapped.

"Fuck sake!" She yelled, walking upstairs, slamming her door. I sighed.

"Just let her!" Tommy groaned as he stood up. "You need to let her be her own person, Adam"

Tommy went upstairs, I sighed as I rubbed my head slowly. If this caused such an argument, imagine what he would of said if I told him the truth about my feelings about Sauli.... God, I miss him so fucking much, I just wished he didn't kill himself, I just wish he would of understood, yes, he killed and nearly killed me but he wished he didn't and I am still here so he didn't succeed, sometimes I wish I had never met Zoe or ever auditioned for Idol because it has caused me to go through hell, but I won't tell anyone that because I am happy.... I just wish it was all a messed up dream, every bit of it....

ZOE

"Zoe?" Tommy's voice spoke softly. I groaned as I got out of bed, opening the door.

"What?" I asked harshly.

"Downstairs, now" He spoke. He sounded as if he was Adam, making orders. I sighed as I followed him.

"Why am I down here?" I spoke, crossing my arms.

"To eat with your parents as a family!" Tommy raised his voice at me for the first time ever.

"I'm not eating." Adam looked at Tommy anxiously.

"Sit down, you are eating." Tommy spoke again, in the same tone of annoyance, one part of me just wanted to sit down and shut up but the other part of me wanted to be stubborn.

"You're forcing me to eat? Yet you can't be the responsible parents and wanting me to go to school?"

"We are going to eat as a family, Zoe Lambert! And that is final!" Tommy yelled. I took a step back, what has gotten into him? Is it the hormone thingy that Dad spoke about?
